Serving liquor at your event?

A Special Occasion liquor license is required you host a private event away from a private residence AND you will serve or sell alcohol*:

You need a class 1 license to serve alcohol.

You need a class 2 license to sell alcohol.

Your "private event" must be for invited guests only -for family and friends. If your event will be large, we may require a guest list to ensure that the event is a private event, and not open to the public. No advertising allowed.

When your group or organization hosts a community-based fundraising event that will sell alcohol:

You need a class 3 license.

Your event must intend to raise funds for a community, charitable, or religious purpose - and that purpose must be set out in your application.

Your event is open to the public - anyone may attend or buy a ticket to attend.
